newsI know this feeling. When I am driving around and I see
It really pisses me off that they would accuse me, a perfect driver, of murdering children. Can't believe the city believes and promotes stereotypes that certain people can't drive by deliberately putting this trash right where I am going!!
Lmao...
literally a hate crime
Lol cool
This was their 9/11
Even if this did happen—which, let's be real, this has some big 'blacks rule' energy—it's pretty common knowledge that the service code for the Travelodge TV admin menu is 1105. Literally anybody could have changed this at any point in the last three years.
it's pretty common knowledge that the service code for the Travelodge TV admin menu is 1105
i wouldn't think that's common knowledge at all actually
That's fair. It's common knowledge enough that I've met people who've figured it out independently, outside of us extremely online nerds. Maybe not with the general public. Valid criticism.
But let's say you wanted to stir up some shit, and looked up ways to do it. Suddenly
the western media's going to keep this up and eventually there's going to be turbo genocide against the jews since the average normie thinks that the jews, as a monolith, love genocide actually
in fact once is finally brought down the west will 1000% blame "the jews" for everything
A turbo genocide? Is gaza/lebanon just a regular genocide?
I was talking to a USA Democrat relative and she told me that watching Israel's actions had made her start to get angry when she saw Jewish people. And that she "knows about the holocaust and all that" but that she "doesn't feel sorry for them anymore" because what they're doing in Palestine is wrong. I was surprised that she was self-aware enough to realize she was developing a strong anti-Jewish prejudice, but also that she seemingly was okay or even proud of her prejudice. I tried to talk her out of it but she basically clammed up when I started talking about her duty as a person to counteract the prejudice.
Ultimately, it exposed some of the inner workings when someone is developing a prejudice. They go through life with a simple, wrong heuristic, assigning humans to groups and making them collectively liable for actions of their group. That group is then judged as "good" and worthy of praise, or "bad" and worthy of scorn. It's not complicated stuff but it is shameful and common.
Fuck I have seen it happening both on this site and lemmygrad, and some motherfuckers still say shit like "antisemitism isn't a real thing anymore". Hell looks like it's happening in this fucking thread.
I had a similar experience last semester with one of my closer classmates. He basically asked something like "How am I not supposed to be antisemitic?" I just explained to him that there are Jewish antizionists and that he only sees otherwise because the mainstream media amplifies only one side. And that was sufficient for him, but I also have a lot of credibility on this because I've been openly Pro Palestine.
Thing is that I can't blame him at all for coming to this conclusion, every and I mean every single Jewish org in our area is Zionist. So when they see mainstream media, politicians, and Israel conflate the two why wouldn't they believe them?
Yeah, how many synagogues are organizing against the genocide? How many jewish groups are actively advocating for an end to israel? Compared to how many are actively advocating for the genocide and deepening ties to israel
It's not just the media, the quantity of genuninely antizionist jewish organizations is vanishingly small and mostly located within Iran if I had to guess
That would require the average westerner to give a shit about brown people being killed
this is a discussion about some zionist jews pissing their pants because they saw the words "free palestine" at a hotel
to which genderisopsec raised the fear of potential blowback in the form of genocide against jews.
I have friends that are staunchly anti-zionist jews and I care about them so actually fuck this take. People I care about are gonna catch shit for this. What is wrong with you? This is not a zero sum game. Also Israel is not killing just non-Jews, they are also killing Jewish Palestinians. Nobody is "centering Jewish safety" and it is perfectly reasonable to talk about all the knock on effects of the actions of Israel.
i guess not enough people on here grew up around kkkrackers using "jewed" as a word for being ripped off. the headline should be two genocide supporters saw the message. christian zionists would have been as offended, and reporting it the way LBC did here makes them complicit in the zionist's conflation.
if your jewish antiozionist friends are only antizionist out of a fear of reciprocal genocide then I don't give a shit what they think.
They're not and have been since before most the fucking people on this site were alive. You act like it's totally invalid to talk about this shit so I am choosing to just ignore you from here out.
There's people dying who tf cares
Everybody should be greeted with it regardless.
So, a guest changed the username on the TV in the room. We need to involve the cops right now
If only theyd made it say something sexual this wouldnt be an issue.
Right? World's biggest crybaby shit
Jewish guests staying at a Travelodge hotel in London have expressed their shock and horror after being confronted with a "Free Palestine" message on their rooms' televisions.
Shock and horror at a message urging ending genocide.
visibly Jewish
What did they mean by this
They just came back from performing Fiddler on the Roof.
Probably dressed in typical religious attire?
Considering how the news likes to play with words, it's entirely possible they were wearing clothes that had the Israeli flag on it but the news is choosing to define it as Jewish
What does it add to the reporting that “two Jewish guests” doesn’t already?
This is a media criticism angle question - think about why a rag like this would say “visibly” and what emotion that intends to stir. Why does it matter when they’re interacting with a faceless computer system that doesn’t know they’re “visibly Jewish”? Why should we care whether they choose to outwardly express their faith or not? Does it make them more or less worthy “victims”?
And so on.
Maybe they thought hotel staff intentionally assigned them to that room and quickly made that message while they were on the way to their room?
Yes that makes sense. The TV is sending special messages just for them, to mock their humiliated status and further persecute them, at the behest of an unknown but powerful extrinsic force.
Sure does merit police time and media coverage.
Maybe every TV in the hotel had the same message and they're doing the typical Israeli thing of playing the victim?
I don't know how the hotel's TVs work but my assumption from the article is that it's supposed to say "Welcome {guest name}" but the person checking them in put "Free Palestine" as the guest name.
Because two visibly Rastafari people probably wouldn't be crying about a free Palestine message?
